One Of the most extraordinary literary

bears the above title.
The specimen pages which the pub
Usher sends free to any applicant, show
the type which is used-a good clear fac
ed Brewer; also the form, Ideal" for
convenience, easy for the eye, handy to
hold.
There will be several thousand illus
trations-no mere pictures" but every
thing of Importance that will serve to ex~
plain the text.
The Manifold Cyclopedia is much
more than Encyclopedia Of Universal

ary of the English Language-including
every word which has just claim to a
place in the language. How often you
have consulted Appleton's or Chambers,
or Johnson's Cyclopedia and faieed to
find the title you were looking for-then
consulted Webster's Unabridged and were
successful; the word belonged to the Die
tionary rather than to the Cyclopedia.
Or you have consulted Webster, and
found little more than mere definition
of the word-you must go to the Cyclope
dia for details of knowledge. Or more
probable than either OF these supposi-
tions, you do not own either first class

only one of the two. because of their pro-

The public meeting, called by the
Mayor in response to Gen. Wheeler'S
letter, was held at the court room Wed.
nesday. The room was filledlwith busi.
ness men and representative citizens
many OF whom took an active part in the
animated discussion on the different res
olutions.
Hon. Ed l. Mastin was called to the
chair, and called the meeting to order
and stated it's object.
DR.. A. R. Erskine offered the follow
ing resolution:
ReSoIyed, AS a sense Of this meeting,
IN view of the fact that some divergence
of opinion has heretofore existed as to
the proper location of the Government
Building, that the central portion OF the
lot selected for it's site would be most
eligible and proper for its erection, pre-
senting in its design, the main front on
Greene st., with side fronts of correspond
ing nature on Eustis and Randolph streets
respectively; and that orr Honorable
Mayor be, and he is hereby instructed to
Representative, Hon. Joseph Wheeler,
with instruction to him, that he imme-
diately call upon the Architect in charge
and express to him respectfully the true
wishes OF the people as to said location
Of Building.
Mr.. w. r Rison then offered, as a
substitute for the above, the following
resolution
WHEREAS, A Government Inspector OF
Public Buildings, was sent to the city OF
Huntsville to inspect and locate the
ground, on which to erect United
States Court House, and said Inspector
having selected the site, and the Gov
ernment Architect having made his
plans in accordance herewith; and
WHEREAS, The citizens of Huntsville
in mass meeting assembled, are satisfied
that said Architect is competent and
qualified to discharge the duties impos-
ed on him; and
WHEREAS, Said Architect has adopted
and recommended a certain plan for said
Public Building, fronting on Randolph
street.
Therefore, be 1t Resolged, BY the citizens
of Huntsville in mass meeting assembled,
that we decline to make any recommen1
dation or suggestion, for change of the
plan OF building adopted and recommen-
ded by said Architect.
The two resolutions were then discuss
ed at length, and motion to table Mr..
Rison's resolution was lost. Further
discussion afforded compromise of the
following:
ResolUed, That it is the sentiment Of
the citizens, in mass meeting assembled,
that, if practicable, we would prefer the
Public Building located in the center of
the lot between Eustis and Randolph
streets, with like opening to each street,
and also an opening to Green street.
This resolution was put to the house,
and carried unanimously, without dis
senting voice.
The Chairman was then directed to
forward to Gen. Wheeler copy of the
resolution as a sense of the citizens of
Huntsville in regard to the location of
the Public Building.
